Shaped Cards

While at Craft Camp in April; a place where the
girls made paper crafts and the boys fish!
My BFF and I made some shaped cards.
We use the Nesties to cut the shape then added different boarders and corners using the Cricut and Gypsy.
The Corners were cut from "Straight from the nest",
the Dolphins were cut from "Life's a beach"
I can't remember where the coffees cups were cut from,
the Pinguin was from "Jolly Holidays". 
I hope you enjoy my take on these shaped cards.

Graduation Cards

We received 4 Graduation announcements this year, all girls.  Which made it easy to use this stamp for all 4. I discovered it about a year ago and fell in love with the sentiment.
I used A child's Year Cartridge for the Cap.

This card is for my Nieces Graduation from
Fashion Design School.
I used a pre~made card that was in my stash from years ago and added the word Fashionista.
I used the Forever Young Cartridge to cut "Fashionista"
Thank you for stopping by.

Word Book

This is a Word book that I started in January of 2010. I started it for my Niece Ariana's Graduation in 2011. It looks like I made just in the nick of time. With Graduation just weeks away, I just have to bind it together....
I've been ask why I chose Black and White. I thought it would be 2 colors that would be elegant, however I always come up with cute. I love black and white together and have 2 different paper stackers of all black and white.
I special ordered the word book with her name, Ariana, then I wanted to use a descriptive word that started with each letter of her name. There are many different Cricut Cartridges used and every brand of embellishments I could come up with to finish each page. I hope you enjoy it.

"Sew" Special Mothers Day Card

My Mom has been in a quilt sewing mood the last few months.
So, it seemed appropriate when I found this stamp to make her Mothers Day Card with it. I then stumbled upon this great paper on the clearance rack which was already stitched together. It was ment to be! I colored the stamp with LuminArt2' paints.

Wise Old Owl

An other card from our marathon week of card making!
I used the Wall Decor Boarder, the Owl is comes on the Gypsy,
which I had the pleasure of working with.  
Loads of fun working with the Gypsy.
Looks like the Gypsy will be a must have item.
